Peeping worker charged with recording suburban Chicago women

WHEATON, Ill. (AP) - A suburban Chicago construction worker allegedly filmed and photographed three young women while they showered, authorities said.

Jose Gaspar, 45, was charged Wednesday with unauthorized videotaping, DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a news release.

Gaspar was hired to work on the house in Hinsdale last November, Berlin's office said. He took dozens of photos and videos of the homeowner's 15-year-old and 22-year-old daughters and another 16-year-old girl.

Gaspar was caught after an acquaintance of the family learned about the photos and videos and alerted it.

'œThe allegations against Mr. Gaspar are extremely disturbing,'ť Berlin said. 'œFortunately, his alleged actions were uncovered and he now finds himself facing felony charges.'ť

Gaspar was being held in lieu of $150,000 bond. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attgorney who could comment on his behalf.
